![]() James seems to become Too Dumb to Live when he ignores his own advice and turns around from the safe spot in the corner, apparently thinking that the witch is Heather while Lisa hears nothing. By the Eyes of the Blind: In a certain way.Too bad the witch has another way of getting people to look behind them. In the climax, the characters reason that standing in the corner like how Mike did in the original film actually protects you from the evil entity. Brown Note: Legend says that the Blair Witch is so horrifying, looking at her will kill you immediately.Blood from the Mouth: Talia after she dies.Black Dude Dies First: Played straight.Talia ends up being snapped and folded in half after Ashley does the same to the stick figure bound with the former's hair.And it's apparently not the Blair Witch herself, but a victim of hers. The brief glimpses of the creature stalking James and Lisa show it to be impossibly tall, pale, and grotesquely emaciated - suggesting that this is Elly Kedward post-torture.The injury to Ashley's foot rapidly escalates into this, beginning with apparent muscle spasms and ending with creepers being found under her flesh.Let's just say that by the end of the movie, you won't even remember what Lisa looked like before entering the forest. The Bad Guy Wins: The Blair Witch once again gets exactly what she wants.Aside Glance: Peter gives one upon spotting a confederate flag on Talia and Lane's wall.Always Night: The group end up trapped inside a seemingly neverending night after the second day.Alien Geometries: The inside of the Parr house is constantly shifting and changing.Agony of the Feet: Ashley suffers a nasty cut to the sole of her foot while crossing the river.Later, after emerging from the tunnel, Lisa defends herself from an attacking figure by stabbing it with her knife - only to discover that she's just stabbed Lane in the neck. and, to her horror, Talia herself suffers the same fate. Accidental Murder: Ashley angrily snaps the stick figure bound with Talia's hair in half.and sometimes she drowns little girls and forces recluses to kill children. note This is well in keeping with the backstory of the legend, where sometimes the Witch just spooks people/drives them gradually mad. Adaptational Badass: While in the first movie the Blair Witch was a more subtle and mysterious being that was more or less a background threat, in this film the Blair Witch is truly a force to be reckoned with that more aggressively hunts down the cast.What resulted was one of the most unexpected horror movie revivals in years. Even the giant sign in the lobby of the Comic-Con screening was changed from The Woods to Blair Witch branding while the film was still rolling. Promotion for the film was done as The Woods with a "switch" being done during the SDCC screening itself with the social media account names and IMDB details being changed. During its production as The Woods, only select members of the production staff and the main cast had the real script during the filming, everyone involved had to sign a non-disclosure agreement, and even most people at the distributor, Lionsgate, had no clue of the true nature of the film. If the original The Blair Witch Project was best known for its Viral Marketing campaign, what Blair Witch might be best known for is the amount of secrecy it went through before its reveal.
